the united states. american soldiers are going to get embroiled in a war there because the jews don't know how to defend themselves. don't do it. the secretary of state at the time, george marshall, who was the most revered american of his generation, said that if the president recognized the jewish state, he, george marshall, wouldn't vote for him in the 1948 presidential elections. but the president was a gentleman named harry truman, who claimed to have memorized the bible by age 14 and had himself joined a restorationist group called the american christian committee for palestine. he locked himself in the white house for 48 hours and on -- at 6:11 p.m. on may 14th, 1948, that's 11 minutes after israel declared its independence, harry truman made the united states the first nation on earth to recognize the recreated jewish state. and when asked later why he did this, why he went against the advice of all of his foreign policy counselors, truman basically had a two-word response. he said "i'm cyrus."

the economy had just suffered depression, twice as deep of that of which the united states suffered in the 1930s. a new stage in world succession had threatened the territorial structure of russia. this is why putin was appointed prime minister, to deal with that. nato expansion was proceeding on all fronts with no limits on space and time. russia was virtually a failed state. putin was able to restore an element of order out of chaos and an element out of prosperity out of misery, and it meant international respect and humiliation. this is not the whole picture, to be sure. he presides over a totalitarian political machine. it is more dependent on resources than it was before. citibank, for instance, thinks that the price of oil has to be about $150 per barrel, it is at about $115 now. for the russian government to balance. depending how much they depend on oil revenues. political secession still remains a matter of her politics and not institutionalize rules and procedures. however, most russians look past the procedural element and they see where they came from in the 1990s from the
